Mining LRC/LFM

[Bad911]

An unorderly spew of questions.

 

Yes/No is a sufficient answer.

1. Does Varrock armor work in the Lava Flow Mine? I recently got interested in RSWiki from the events and they recommend it, but I don't trust their information unconditionally like I do for Tipit.

2. I quite like Barbarian Assault. That said, is it worth it to bring the Penance Master Horn to the Lava Flow Mines?

3. Is it worth it to bring the Penance Master Horn to the Living Rock Caverns?

4. Do Varrock Armor 2 & 3 give a greater chance of mining multiple ores than Varrock Armor 1?

5. Do I have to carry around my Golden Mining Top if I substitute with a Varrock Armor?

6. Should I get the Coal Mining Bag from Dungeoneering for Living Rock Caverns? I already have the Gem Bag ^^.

7. Is hunting Shooting Stars worth the Mining Bonus?

8. Should I make urns for Living Rock Caverns? I'm worried about space.

More complex questions.

9. To get the Clay Mining Ring can I simply join a prestigious clan and pick one up or do I have do stuff? Is it worth it? How do I recognize a sufficiently Tier'd clan? Can you recommend me a new clan? I have a "fun" clan that I joined on impulse, it would be rude to simply leave I suppose, but we don't have a Citadel.

 

P.S. I hope the color doesn't bother anyone, I can change it if you want. I went a little insane.

I'll answer what I can:

1) don't remember.. but I'm leaning towards yes

2) yes

3) yes

4) no, just a higher ore has the chance of double with higher tier... 1- up to coal, 2-mith, 3-addy, 4-addy

5) no, once you get the full set you can wear either golden/varrock armor and you'll get the bonuses from both.. just keep the other in bank

6) yes, if you plan on doing lots of coal.. it's pretty cheap

8) yes the urns are worth it.. you can drop mine/low alch/superheat (for gold)

9) according to RW (lol), it's 100 clicks at a skill plot.. so yes, you need to skill in the citadel to pick one up

1. I still haven't gotten the message nor the experience for wearing Varrock Armor at LFM.

4. Wiki says it does, idk what to believe...

8. What?

 

Ty.

 

E: I got full golden (even gilded pickaxe), should I keep mining LFM or go granite or something?

[Lord Paul]

1) you answered your own question then :)

4) i'm not sure on any research that has been done if varrock 4 gives more double ore than say varrock 1 on iron ore

8) if you are worried about inventory space, you can just sit at the deposits with a good 20+ urns and drop mine.. if you want to, (it's much less clicking) you can low alch the ores, which doesn't interrupt mining as long as you don't do it too fast.

Finally, once you get to concentrated gold, you can superheat the ores (also doesn't interrupt) and drop them

 

Going to drop mine at granite would be faster xp, yes.
